46 2 4 Through the Bible with Les Feldick Why Hebrews Was Written: Hebrews 1:1-10

Описание: Hebrews 2:1-4

"Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will."


Now all of those verses are tied around that one concept, "How dare we neglect so great a Salvation." Now let's go up to verse 1 and begin. And look at the very first word, "Therefore." Remember when we taught Romans several years ago whenever we came to a "Therefore, what would I tell you? What's it there for! Well, because of what went before. Here, he's referring to what we just covered in chapter 1, and some of that was:


"If the Son is higher than the angels, if the Son was the Creator of everything, if the Son finished the work of redemption, and purchased man's sins, and was now qualified to sit down at the right hand of the Father on high, but not forever, there would come a day when He would arise and return, and set up His Kingdom here on the earth. But before He would set up the Kingdom, He would destroy His enemies."


Now the study we had in II Thessalonians should still be fresh on your mind. How that the day of the Lord is coming, and the wrath and vexation that is going to be poured out on Christ-rejecting mankind, and that's all the same concept of what Psalm 110:1 spoke of as having His enemies under His feet. Now with all that as a backdrop, that God the Son, the Creator, the Redeemer, the Intercessor, sitting at the Father's right hand on our behalf:


Hebrews 2:1

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
